Which of the following officers was not associated with the administration of cities in the Mughal empire ?

  • A.Nazim
  • B.Qazi
  • C.Mir-i-adl
  • D.Kotwal

Answer: A

The Nazim was not associated with the administration of cities, option (A). The Nazim, or governor, in Mughal usage was concerned with a province or a suba, though the word was used for officials of more than one rank. In the cities the Kotwal looked after law, order and the police, the Qazi dealt with justice according to law, and the Mir-i-Adl was the official who dealt with justice at the court. Hence (B), (C) and (D) were associated with the city administration in the key and (A) is the exception.
